A 25-year resident of Frank Callaghan Towers in Oak Ridge, Beatrice ‘BB’ Duguay celebrated her 94th birthday with family and friends on Aug. 8. Daughter Diane Omasta of Knoxville said BB and her husband, Joseph C., moved from Maine to Oak Ridge in 1945 to work at the plants. They lived in an Oak Ridge ‘flat top’ and had to don boots to tread through the muddy streets of The Secret City at that time, Omasta said. BB also worked at the laundromat at Jefferson Center and was a bartender and manager at The Alexander Motor Inn, where she met several dignitaries.
